    I used to never be a fan of rose scented products or fragrances. They say our tastes change every 7 years, so I guess that explains why I'm now obsessed with rose scented everything. I went...

    a kurdjian rose patchouli, not gourmand, referencing the powerhouse 1991 l'arte di gucci EdP, not EdT. RB is expensive, lighter weight, and I intensely dislike the packaging and price, so I would...

    At last I got this. I was obsessed with it, and love it even more than Juliette Has a Gun Lady Vengeance (another dark rose beauty by Francis Kurkdjian), which I gave 5 lippies to, so this gets 5...

    I really wish I didn't like this one. It's crazy expensive, near impossible to get, and part of a trend of hugely overpricing fragrances that I deplore. Unfortunately this is, as most of the...

    When I think of a gorgeous rose scent I think of Joy and compare all other rose scents to that timeless masterpiece. To me, this one just stinks. It smells to me of rotting roses combined with...

    I am a rose hater, so I'm trying to be fair for this review. Rose Barbare is a classic, nicely done, ladylike rose. It is like Serge Lutens Sa Majeste La Rose with a little honey chord...

    Fresh, sparkling roses with a light tartness - delicious. Some vanilla in the drydown as well. A must smell for rose lovers.

    There are few rose scents that do well with my chemistry, but this one takes the cake on the poor interpretation of a rose scale. It's like a watered down rose and vanilla mixture, so utterly...

    Rose grafted onto a rootstock of reformulated Mitsouko. I love both rose and Mitsouko, but this eventually turned into a sour sort of aftershave on me, which those newfangled oakmoss substitutes...

    All I can say is everything Etat Libre said -- she described the essence of this scent perfectly, without mentioning the amazing bottle it comes in! I must admit that I love Or et Noir, though I...

    With a name like Rose Barbare I expected a Rose with thorns. I was hoping for a scent that made me feel like a bad girl with a whip to the right of her hips and a big dagger on the other side of...

    Ah, I thought I finally found a rose that called my name (quite literally), but Rose Barbare is not quite what I was looking for. It is a lovely, soft and rather demure rose, not a dark and...

    Dark oriental rose, with a hint of spice and leather. My favourite of the new Guerlain boutique releases.

    If Barbare (barbarous) means unfit for civilised society, they've nailed this one straight away. A thin, acidic, weedy rose, if it were a person you could imagine it snivelling in a corner, whining...

    This chypre-based rose scent inspired by the legendary Mitsouko is an astonishingly beautiful artwork. When I took the first sniff of this magnificent perfume, it immediately conjured up an image...
